The illustrator making bodies into surreal pop art dreams

Published on 15 May 2017

Claudia Chanhoi is an illustrator and graphic designer working out of London, Miami and Hong Kong. Her images, which appropriate the female form and repurpose the body as landscapes, banquets or pool accessories, are Instagram’s preferred combination of subversive, aesthetically pleasing and unashamedly political.

Whilst the #FreeTheNipple campaign continues to call out social media’s tedious sexism, illustrators and artists are fighting back with a combination of camouflage, ironic self-censorship and pop art sensibilities. As Claudia points out, “I don’t draw boobs or nips for no reason! I always try to do something that’s not only visually interesting, but it also needs to serve a purpose.” Hit follow here and buy stickers here.
